Somnath Bharti an embarrassment to party: Arvind Kejriwal

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said former law minister Somnath Bharti should surrender to police and that by “running away” from arrest “he is becoming embarrassment for the party and his family”.

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday dismissed the anticipatory bail plea of Bharti in a domestic violence case filed by his wife Lipika Mitra. The court said Bharti was “not only violent and outrageous at home, but also before the public at large”.

Soon after the bail plea was dismissed, Delhi Police raided the legislator’s residence and office in Malviya Nagar, but he was missing, police said.
